Positive feeling for Iannone in Ducati test

Moto2™ star Andrea Iannone shared his impressions with motogp.com after completing a 3-day test with Ducati at Mugello.

Andrea Iannone may still have a shot at the Moto2™ title - at least mathematically - and will be focusing on his second "home race" of the season next week at Misano but for now the Italian rider is making the headlines as he has just completed a 3-day test on the Ducati Desmosedici GP12 at Mugello.

Linked to a move to the premier class on Ducati machinery, Iannone admitted that: "At this stage I'd say it's almost obvious but it still has to be announced... However anyone can guess where I'll be next year."

The Italian had his first run on a MotoGP™ bike last year with the Pramac Racing Team at Mugello in a test held right after the Italian GP. This time, he had a proper test with the 1000cc iteration of the Desmosedici and reported: "I lapped in 1'48.3 today (Thursday) and my feeling with the team and Ducati was great but this bike isn't easy to ride. I wasn't expecting this kind of lap time so I'm quite happy. Filippo (Preziosi) was satisfied because it was the first time that I really got to work with the team."

"Overall it's been a great experience as I felt quite comfortable but for now the priority is to focus on the (Moto2) World Championship in Misano" added Iannone, while an announcement regarding his future is expected in the coming days.
